Original Instructions Part Six

"Indigenous Peoples represent 86 percent of the world's cultural diversity." The struggles of indigenous peoples is our struggle because indigenous peoples make up the majority of the world's diversity. This is a reason why it is important that we address indigenous peoples in a just way. Today, profit is often put before life. Because of this, the concerns of indigenous peoples are often pushed to the side. Indigenous communities are coming together to stand up for their rights. But we should also remember that they are not only speaking for their own rights, but for the voiceless, the young. It is important that indigenous struggles are heard instead of continuing to put profit before life.
